Like I said, I don't know politics or the candidates.
It was my understanding that McCain was a POW, tortured..?
Either way, Obama talks like a guy from the south side of chicago,
funny.. I like it, but like I said I grew up there too.
Obama's victory song will likely be:
"He's bad, bad, Leroy Brown, baddest man in the whole dam town"

Oregon = no sales tax.
As for jobs, well fuck I'm still trying to get one myself.

You chances of finding a job near denver are much (much) better then in portland imo.
I've been to colorado a good amount of times.
Prefer the colorado mountains over the cascades (maybe).
The mountains in colorado are f-ing huge.
Like someone else mentioned, denver is a big city, and I suppose it could eat a person up.
Boulder is nice ---- Why are you asking all of this?
Tell me more about how you want to vote for McCain.

..or can't find a job.
I don't even mind McCain all that much.
Even (gasp) Clinton seemed fine to me after the last eight years.
After getting straight fisted for that long a little poke now and again doesn't seem quite so bad.
The reason I ask is 'cuz I'm moving!

Yer voting Obama? Good man. Intelligence is better than blind religious bullshit. Ignore his color and the religious Rhetoric, He's going to make the USA a respectable country again.
Obama will kick ass if needed, but hes a smart man and can make war a last resort.
He must be part Irish, because he reminds me of Bobby.
If he isn't killed he's going to be a great pres.

Yes we certainly do have to respect Obama,
he's got some serious guts to put himself in that position.
Anyone who stands up for what he believes,
putting his life on the line (almost), really deserves extra points.
Like I typed earlier, I do like the way he talks and what he has to say,
but I still do not think he understands the war we are in as well as McCain.
I think McCain has a much better understanding to ochestrate our way out,
then Obama does.

I live in portland, but I was in colorado springs for seven years and I'd visit denver every now and then and I never really liked it so much as I did portland. Denver is bigger than portland for sure, and I love big cities, but I never liked denver.
It was kinda just the atmosphere I guess, I dunno. It probably would've been different if I'd actually lived there. I never liked the high altitude either though.
Yeah that probably didn't make much sense, but anyway I've always loved portland. More mushrooms too. And strip clubs. Mushrooms and strip clubs. If you like mushrooms and strip clubs, then portland is the place for you.
Although cannabis did become very quite decriminalized in the city of denver, did it not? 
You enjoyed the atmosphere of Colororado Springs more than Denver? 
Colorado Springs is hell.

I live in Denver, I love Denver, but I would say move to Portland. But, politically, your vote would make a bigger difference here. Oregon will go to Obama no matter what, no contest, but here in Colorado, it's split down the middle, a full-on battleground state.
And McCain doesn't know too much about this war. He said that Iran is training Al-Qaeda, but Iran is Shi-a and Al-qaeda is Sunni. They're on opposite sides. He also said that an American could walk the streets of Baghdad normally. General Petraeus himself contradicted this, and the last time McCain was walking the streets of Baghdad, he had a battalion of over a hundred ground units with him and three helicopters overhead for protection. He also keeps touting that the surge is working, but recent reports show this is just propaganda. So while I truly respect McCain for his service to this country, I don't think that that experience alone qualifies him to lead the entire country. A guy whose only experience is war is not who we need to end a time of war.

Portland.
My father lived in Denver my whole life, so I visited him frequently and am very familiar with Denver, and I currently live in Portland, OR. Employment and inflation makes Portland a very difficult city to live in, but a rewarding one. I love it here, and wouldn't even consider moving to Denver. Denver has its perks, but the culture and advantages of Portland makes it so much better. The mass transit alone makes life more laid back. If you head out this way, send me a pm so we can drink microbrews and smoke bud and got nuts. Good luck on whatever you do either way. As we say in the PNW..No worries, man. No worries.

Barrak was born and raised where I was, south chicago
Why would you make up a story about you being born in Chicago and that Barack Obama was born and raised where you were in South Chicago.
Apparently you were right in noting that you know nothing about politics. Or for that matter, about brother Obama.
For your information in Life 101, Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961.
His father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya, where he grew up herding goats with his own father, who was a domestic servant to the British.
Barack's mother, Ann Dunham, grew up in small-town Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs during the Depression, and then signed up for World War II after Pearl Harbor, where he marched across Europe in Patton's army. Her mother went to work on a bomber assembly line, and after the war, they studied on the G.I. Bill, bought a house through the Federal Housing Program, and moved west to Hawaii.
It was there, at the University of Hawaii, where Barack's parents met. His mother was a student there, and his father had won a scholarship that allowed him to leave Kenya and pursue his dreams in America.
Barack's father eventually returned to Kenya, and Barack grew up with his mother in Hawaii, and for a few years in Indonesia. Later, he moved to New York, where he graduated from Columbia University in 1983 HE was then 22-years-old).
The College Years
Remembering the values of empathy and service that his mother taught him, Barack put law school and corporate life on hold after college and moved to Chicago in 1985 (he was 24-years-old), where he became a community organizer with a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment.
The group had some success, but Barack had come to realize that in order to truly improve the lives of people in that community and other communities, it would take not just a change at the local level, but a change in our laws and in our politics.
He went on to earn his law degree from Harvard in 1991 (30-years-old), where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Soon after, he returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer and teach constitutional law. Finally, his advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate, where he served for eight years. In 2004, he became the third African American since Reconstruction to be elected to the U.S. Senate.
Why would you say that he was born in Chicago. That is a lie. Have you even ever been there? You said you and he went to school in Chicago.
Barack Obama is a Senator from Illinois. He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, August 4, 1961 and obtained early education in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Hawaii. Later he continued his education at Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif., and then attended Columbia University, in New York City, eventually studying law at Harvard University, where he became the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review, and received J.D. in 1992 and in 1994 he moved to Chicago and lectured on constitutional law at the University of Chicago. He did not move to Chicago until he was in his early 30's. He eventually became a member of the Illinois State senate from 1997-2004 and then was elected as a Democrat to the U.S. Senate in 2004 for a term beginning January 3, 2005.
Try to read about something you know nothing about before posting lies about a man who is about to become the first African America President of the United States.
As a Gulf Was veteran, I am proud to be a black American in this country and really am offended when people lie about a great orator and man who believes in his country.
